Dr. Michael Jurgelewicz is the Director of Product Development, Research, and Clinical Support for Designs for Health, Inc., and has been studying nutrition and wellness for the past 17 years. He is a licensed Doctor of Chiropractic in Pennsylvania and Connecticut and is an adjunct professor for the Master of Science in Human Nutrition program at the University of Bridgeport as well as Sonoran University of Health Sciences. He is board-certified in Nutrition by the American Clinical Board of Nutrition, a Diplomate of the Chiropractic Board of Clinical Nutrition, and Certified Nutrition Specialist, and a Doctor of Chiropractic. He is also a member of the American Clinical Board of Nutrition’s Item Writer’s Committee and a contributor to various professional publications. In addition, Dr. Jurgelewicz specializes in functional medicine in the management of a variety of chronic health conditions.
Together Dr. Jurgelewicz and I discuss autoimmune disease treatments, the third most common cause of chronic illness in women, with functional medicine. He highlights the most common autoimmune diseases, the health stage at which many patients come to work with him, and what he expects from patients from their very first interactions to optimize success. He shares probable outcomes with optimized vitamin levels and dosing preferences for his patients, his autoimmunity supplements preferences, and the rate at which he treats patients with gut-healing herbs and nutrients. As a key player in the development team at Designs for Health, he offers an overview of each phase of his treatment strategy, shares exciting developments in the field of autoimmune research, and underscores some of his all-time favorite product and technology developments in the world of autoimmune research and development.
I’m your host, Evelyne Lambrecht, thank you for designing a well world with us.
